Burton Mere Wetlands : 2nd August 2015
After we had been to Hoylake for the high tide we had a little bit of time left and we fancied a cup of tea. Rather than just go to a cafe we decided to pay a flying visit to Burton Mere Wetlands. It was very crowded in the main hide as there were a couple of minibuses of people from a care home on an outing. This meant that it was all a bit chaotic and not exactly quiet but we had our cup of tea and got our usual Black-tailed Godwits and some Dunlin but not much else.
We took a walk out to the farm and had a listed for the Quail that has been singing there recently but we could not hear it.
